Serials Cancellations

If the title is “Latest vol. only retained” pull and discard all of the pieces.

Delete the record from Aleph.

Update the Local Holdings record in OCLC.

Go to the Order record.

Under (2.) General make sure there is some kind of cancellation code in the Order Status field (LC=Library cancelled, CLS=closed or CE=cancelled for online version). In the Library Note field, insert a brief statement why title is cancelled, i.e. “Cancelled for online, etc., [date], [initials]“. If the print copy is cancelled for online, (Order Record Status of CE), make sure we have online access before cancelling. If not, notify Electronic Resources staff.

Update the 866 field to reflect what we have that is bound. And remove the dash (-) at the end of the statement.

Add in a 590 (Ctrl. F6) field and enter: “CANCELLED; record closed, [date], [initials].”

If the title is a periodical with a pattern added, delete the 853X field. (This will prevent the pattern from being opened for any issues being checked in after cancellation, while preserving the pattern setup in the 853 field in case the title is reactivated.)
